MIUI 11 Always-on Display Alternatives

This left me no choice but to look for the next top alternatives for MIUI 11 Always-on Display.

There are a few Android apps on the Google Play Store that emulate the feature; unfortunately, they are not as good as the original MIUI 11’s AOD.

Google Ambient Mode

But we recently came across one workaround that certainly deserves an attempt — Google’s very own ambient display settings. The feature is hidden under several layers of Google settings. We wouldn’t be surprised if you never heard about it until now.

Toggle off the “Photo frame on ambient display” option if you wish to avoid displaying your personal pictures on the lock screen while the phone is charging.

The Ambient mode also allows users to wake Google Assistant without touching the device. Smartphone vendors usually don’t include the essential hardware in budget devices that could wake Google Assistant when the screen is off.

However, Google’s ambient mode can finally bring the feature on any Xiaomi/Redmi device, be it a budget or a flagship.
